I think I have fat necrosis after my BBL. How can that be fixed without another surgery?

Moises Salama, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.First, you should be seen by your surgeon to verify if you actually have fat necrosis vs. another process. He or she can give you some advice. With my patients, I'll usually recommend massage and sometimes cavitation to soften up those areas.Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
All the best,

You do not provide the date of your lipo and BBL to know how long you have experienced the problem.  Many times it will dissolve on its own, or massaging may help.  Otherwise, it can be removed through small discrete incisions if there is no resolution of fat necrosis or its symptoms.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
